| HESMONDHALGH | CASE STUDIES |
| Reliant upon changing audience consumption patterns | No Offence – Weekly episodes The Killing – Originally Danish but translated for foreign audiences. |
| Serialisation | No Offence – created 3 series, the 3rd did not do as well as series 1 |
| Genre-based formatting | Both TV programmes have the same genre of true crime. |
| On demand services | Both The Killing and No Offence are available on online streaming services (Channel 4 Player & Amazon Prime) |
| Internationalism | Both TV programmes are available in English |
| Creative Symbol Makers | No Offence did not do well in their 3rd season – maybe the creators didn’t have much of a say when making this season as they wanted to stick to what they knew the audience liked previously and made them successful. Not keeping up with changing audience interest. |
| Star Formatting | No Offence – Included stars like Will Mellor and Paul Ritter who have already made themselves known in British TV (Mellor – Broadchurch) (Ritter – Friday Night Dinner) |
